" it was supposed to be an economic-based incentive for companies to build in that area..." Journal editorial (January I think) said that it was being build to export tourist, wood, and education. It also stated that people who live there don't use this highway.

BB" Then there is "Corridor H", 133 miles, $22M(^?) a mile, going nowhere."

wrong again...it connects I-79 to I-81(whenever Va gets it's act together).. it was supposed to be an economic-based incentive for companies to build in that area... but no company is gonna build up there...look at I-68 between Hancock and Morgantown.... I 68 was built for the same purpose, yet no corporation has or is considering relocating there... just because you have an interstate highway doesn't mean businesses will follow..thats' been proven by I-68s' history. the road was not needed, but in the spirit of the CCC it was built.

WV loves to waists money. The road/bridge project is a major part. This project was voted on land purchased decades ago. Simple project now turned into a major expense. Major headache. Add to that Why does it take 10+ WV highway big wigs standing around day in day out all day. And each on driving WV gas hog trucks paid for by our taxes!!! These folks every hear of Car Pooling???

Pay for it or do without. Federal funds are drying up and WV (taker)is beginning to feel the pinch. Then there is "Corridor H", 133 miles, $22M(^?) a mile, going nowhere. More malfeasance and state officials seem to be proud of it.
